UVA and Vandy aren’t really similar in terms of BME. As an interdisciplinary major, BME is different at different schools. Vandy has outstanding imaging for example. Other schools are focused on prostheses, tissue engineering, etc. (This isn’t to say that those areas aren’t also at Vandy.) Look at the faculty, look at the curriculum, etc. Being so much smaller than UVA engineering, a student has a better chance of getting good research, developing strong relationships with faculty, etc. All good things for grad. school.
